Executive Summary
The Director of Secondary Programs, along with the Director of Technology & Information Services, the Director of Exceptional Student Education, the Director of Research and Accountability, and the Supervisor of Literacy, Intervention, and Elementary Academic Programs, on behalf of the Superintendent of Schools, hereby requests the Board to approve the renewal and purchase of services from Renaissance Learning, Inc. to include: renewal of eduCLIMBER platform from Renaissance Learning, Inc, STAR Reading for ESE PreK, and STAR Math for high school.

eduCLIMBER is an interactive student data system that integrates all data points into one platform in order to evaluate and monitor data at the student, school, and district level. This platform also streamlines MTSS paperwork for teachers by automating time-intensive processes. eduCLIMBER improves efficiency, enhances data accessibility, supports timely intervention, and strengthens communication with families while saving thousands of hours of educator time annually. The original contract was Board approved at the February 28, 2023 meeting.
STAR Early Literacy will provide progress monitoring opportunities for our ESE PreK students, which mirrors the progress monitoring of our VPK students that is provided by the state.
